Mod note: Do no post any screenshots of Governor Palin's Yahoo account on Free Republic.
Thank you.
On the heels of media reports that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was using a private Yahoo e-mail account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) to conduct Alaska state business, hackers have broken into the account and posted evidence of the hijack on Wikileaks.
An activist group calling itself ‘anonymous’ claimed responsibility for the compromise and released screenshots, photographs and the e-mail addresses of several people close to Palin, including her husband Todd and assistant Ivy Frye.

One word....AXELROD!!
Heh now THAT would be a “magnificent bastard” move, but according to notes the account profile was last updated in April 08 well before Palin was even in the running for VP pick.
Some proxy servers don’t forward the originating IP in the user agent info, or keep log files. How do you trace those?
I hope her password wasn’t “lipstick”, or something else easy to guess.
How do you log in and change the password...I had my computer switched to my TV so I could watch some netflix movies, and when I switched over to the notebook (My Laptop) I could not log in it says you are locked out
I have no understanding how to log-in again my password does not work..Can you overide the password log-in?
I’m sure that some smart Microsoft liberal slimeball probably helped do it.
The question BB was posing to GSC was that one can’t jump to the conclusion that she posted government information relevant to her job over the Yahoo e-mail.
I don’t see that happening; I’d see that yahoo e-mail being used for personal messages to friends and family, however.
As for confirmation of this report, here’s some peripheral information:
Hannity warned his listeners that anyone who shares her private email info is committing a felony. I suspect that people in the Palin camp had privately confirmed that she was indeed had — just speculation. But Levin also reported it. That’s what he kicked the show off with.
a) apologize to McCain/Palin.
b) explain that Palins email account was hacked by an employee
c) fire the employees involved.
And (d), turn that employee in to the FBI. Hacking of this type is a federal crime. It is almost certainly a state crime as well in whatever state the hacker resides.
Has there been any evidence that any government information was transferred over Yahoo? I haven't seen any thus far.

Interesting read.....still looking for more.
I don’t have time to read through all the responses, but this is a pretty ridiculous matter. Leaving aside the hacking itself, there is not a shred of evidence that Palin used this account for government business. There are a grand total of three emails from government employees, all of which are personal in nature. There is no government business being transacted, nothing at all.
These attacks on Palin are, without question, the most serious evidence yet of the total collapse of the liberal establishment. I consider myself something of an historian and I cannot think of a single candidate for high office in the history of the United States who has been subject to so many unwarranted, vicious, abominable attacks as Governor Palin. We’ve had presidents and vice presidents, and candidates to both offices who had plenty of baggage, known and unknown, and not a single one—no, not all of them put together have ever had to suffer anything like this in the whole of American history.
“Dressed like that? She was asking to be raped, I tell ya.”
She is in the biggest of big-league politics now, and the scrutiny she has to expect is neither reasonable nor fair, but that is reality.
Stories like this one are exactly why I’m considering REALLY crossing over from the dark side and changing my voter registration to Republican. Those lunatics are besmirching the character of all the old south conservative democrats like myself and my family.
I work for a state legislature. I am able to get my state emails from a special web client, but they also come in on my blackberry so I don't use it much.
And to think FR thinks she’d make a great VP.
Welcome to FR. I vote 90% GOP but I’m not a registered Republican. Register Independent.
